The Drive Shack golf facility under consideration for the former Times-Picayune site on Howard Avenue would require tearing down the old newspaper building completely, but the owners of the property say they are committed to preserving the massive murals inside.

Two companies looking to close on a purchase of the former Avondale Shipyard in Jefferson Parish noted key progress on Thursday toward the site reopening as a multi-modal private terminal along the Mississippi River.

Sherman Strategies has been integral to the ongoing redevelopment of the former Times-Picayune headquarters at 3800 Howard Ave. Upon approval of a zoning change for the site, Mike Sherman described the project as "a catalyst for this whole corridor, which is in a sea of underutilized property."

As Mike Sherman has said, “New Orleans isn’t a city with neighborhoods, but a city of neighborhoods.” That’s why Sherman Strategies worked tirelessly with CVS and the neighborhood groups of the Garden District to produce a Good Neighbor Agreement between residents and the operators of the new CVS Pharmacy at 1116 Louisiana Ave.
